Firstly, this amendment is obviously seeking to determine the government's business on the agenda. It's always a matter for the government to set its business on the agenda. I can also say that our expectation is that Thursday will be fully occupied with dealing with our income tax relief plan, which we took to the last election and which the Australian people voted for, because we want to get more money into workers' pockets as soon as possible; we want to create more jobs on the back of the economy being stimulated with our income tax relief plan. That is the No. 1 and only major priority for this week.

I can also advise the chamber that there is absolutely no plan to—and we will not—bring the medevac legislation to the Senate this week.
